Freeletics — Weeks 1 + 2
I recently completed my first 2 weeks of Freeletics and I’m in love with the program. If you are new to Freeletics, here are my thoughts on why I prefer it to weight-training, cross-fit and/or pure cardio programs.
Below is a guide to my first 2 weeks on the app:
- Tuesday: Aphrodite (43:30)
- Wednesday: Zeus (42:04)
- Saturday: Sit-up Max (75) + Poseidon (8:03) + Push-up Max (50)
- Sunday: Artemis (35:35) + Sit-up Max (88) + Push-up Max (50)
- Tuesday: Poseidon (8:20) + Aphrodite (43:30)
- Wednesday: Aphrodite (46:52)
- Thursday: Dione (1:02:52)
- Friday: Push-up Max (60) + Sit-up Max (94) + Burpee Max (53)
- Sunday: Aphrodite (35:51)
- Monday: Burpee Max (54) + Squat Max (150) + Sit-up Max (110) + Push-up Max (61)
I am targeting about 4–5 workouts per week for a total of 15 weeks but was limited in my mobility during this time with a hip injury that I am still recovering from.
Focus on the Process
I was surprised by how much I was able to do by just focusing on the process of a completing each routine.
If I was doing weight-training and moved to a higher weight, I could convince myself that I couldn’t push out another rep.
However, with Freeletics — I can’t make that excuse as its just bodyweight and I believe that with enough time, I can finish the workout — which is all that matters.
So far the results have been fantastic and I’ll post some progress pictures mid-way through the challenge. You can follow along by clicking the link below:
